Terms

The deal, in plain words.

This site is run by Pursuit Labs, LLC, a Florida company. By using it you agree to what follows. If anything here is unclear, email hello@thevadisabilityhack.com before you buy.

What this is

Education and research. We explain how the VA rates conditions, how secondary and presumptive conditions work, what the Board of Veterans' Appeals has decided in published cases, and how to put a claim together. What we show you is built from what you tell us you have.

What this is not

• We are not a law firm, not a Veterans Service Organization, and not accredited by the VA. We do not prepare, present, or prosecute claims, and we do not represent you before the VA. You can always prepare and file your own claim. What the rule restricts is doing it for someone else: only a VA-accredited representative, agent, or attorney may prepare, present, or prosecute a claim for another person (38 CFR 14.629(b)(1)). The one exception is a person you name to help with a single claim for no fee (38 CFR 14.630). You also have the right to a representative of your choice at every stage (38 CFR 3.103(e)). We are not accredited and we do neither. Help from a VSO is free. An accredited attorney or agent may generally charge a fee only for work after the VA has decided the claim once (38 CFR 14.636(c)), with narrow exceptions in 14.636(d) for a home loan case and for a fee paid by a disinterested third party.
• We are not the VA and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or any government agency.
• Nothing here is legal or medical advice, and nothing here is a diagnosis. Talk to a doctor about your health and to an accredited representative about your claim.
• We do not promise any rating, any outcome, or any amount of money. The VA decides your claim, not us.

What you buy

The playbook is a written document. It is built from the conditions, situation, service history, and evidence you select on this site. The price is $49.99, one time. It is delivered to your account. Software checks every chapter against the regulations and the Board decisions it cites, and rewrites any chapter that does not match, before the playbook is released. We email you a link when it goes out, usually in 5 to 15 minutes. The playbook is written once, from the Claim Map on your account when we start writing. We start right after you pay, or as soon as you save a Claim Map if you have not saved one yet. Check it before you buy. It is for your personal use.

No refunds

The playbook is a digital product written for you after you pay and delivered to your account, so all sales are final and there are no refunds. Please read what it includes and what it is not before you pay. If it does not arrive, email us and we will make it right.

Accuracy

Rating criteria and regulations come from the Code of Federal Regulations, as published in the eCFR. Board decisions are quoted from the VA's own public files. But rules change, and we can make mistakes. Check anything you rely on against the source we link, and tell us if you find an error.

Be honest

This site teaches you to claim what is real and to document it well. Do not use it to exaggerate or fabricate a claim. That harms you, and it harms every veteran behind you.
